Look up how much your district is losing 👇
Attorney General Keith Ellison has joined 22 others states in suing Trump to unblock the already-allocated $73 million in critical funding for English learners, after-school programs and more.

We're proud to endorse Denise Slipy for the April 29 special election in Senate District 6. Denise is a pro-union candidate who will fight for the learning and working conditions our students and educators deserve! #mnleg #edmnvotes

Low-income school districts in and near tribal nations — like Cass Lake-Bena, Mahnomen and more — get 30-40% of their budget from federal funding. Losing this $$ would be catastrophic. #mnleg #protectourstudents

"One of the highest tariff rates, 50 percent, was imposed on the African nation of Lesotho, whose average citizen earns less than $5 a day.
Because Lesotho’s citizens are too poor to afford most U.S. exports, while the U.S. imports $237 million in diamonds and other goods from the small landlocked nation, we have reserved close to our highest-possible tariff rate for one of the world’s poorest countries.
The notion that taxing Lesotho gemstones is necessary for the U.S. to add steel jobs in Ohio is so absurd that I briefly lost consciousness in the middle of writing this sentence."

Minnesota's school funding system is inequitable.
Crosby Ironton students Candice Wynn & Wyatt Holmes testify in support of restoring some equity by making sure property taxes on seasonal homes stay in greater MN -- reducing the local tax burden & helping rural schools. #mnleg

Today, Educators testified in the Capitol in support of SF 2007. This legislation proposes additional funding to support/sustain approximately 60 new & existing FSCS across Minnesota, with the potential to support over 24,000 youth and their families!

It’s RALLY DAY! Members from across MN are up early on this frigid morning to meet with legislative leaders throughout the day on the critical need to improve educator pay, pensions and health care. #mnleg #fundourfutures

If you’re looking for a state that’s protecting fundamental rights, feeding kids, expanding child care, establishing paid leave, and investing in our infrastructure, then come on over to Minnesota.
Learn the history!
For more than 150 years, the U.S. government removed thousands of Native American children from their homes and sent them to hundreds of boarding schools across the country. President Biden formally apologized on Friday for the abuse they suffered. nyti.ms/3BZFYBu

Our contract is hot to go!
@FirstAvenue workers call on the company to settle a fair contract. We need wages that allow us to make ends meet and seniority that respects our decades of work!

It takes $ to keep one of the state's most remote school districts running. Cook County educator Chad Benesh testifies in support of legislation to keep tax revenue from cabins & other seasonal homes in the counties they're built in -- making school funding more equitable. #mnleg
